[English]

It seems you have entered

the oldest school of life

The night was cold and you didn’t cover yourself

And there’s a book of verses on your nightstand.

It seems you have entered,

you’ve already discovered that there’s a thorn

that runs across the heart from side to side,

that wounds without leaving any scar.

If you’re in love, hallelujah!

If you’re in love!

If you’re in love, hallelujah!

If you’re in love!

It seems you have entered

to the loveliest school of life

The night was cold and you didn’t cover yourself

and there’s a book of verses on your nightstand.

Your childhood has suddenly been left

in the final game, paused.

Today you’ve styled your hair differently

and there’s a new color on your cheeks.

If you’re in love, hallelujah!

If you’re in love!

If you’re in love, hallelujah!

If you’re in love!

If you’re in love, hallelujah!

If you’re in love!

If you’re in love, hallelujah!

If you’re in love!

If you’re in love, hallelujah!

If you’re in love!

If you’re in love, hallelujah!

If you’re in love!

[Spanish]

Me parece que tu has ingresado

Al la escuela más vieja de la vida

La noche estaba fría y no te has tapado

Y hay un libro de versos en tu mesilla.

Me parece que tú has ingresado,

has descubierto ya que hay una espina

que cruza el corazón de lado a lado,

que hiere sin dejar ninguna herida.

¡Si estás enamorada, aleluya!

¡Si estás enamorada!

¡Si estás enamorada, aleluya!

¡Si estás enamorada!

Me parece que tu has ingresado

a la escuela más linda de la vida

la noche estaba fría y no te has tapado

y hay un libro de versos en tu mesilla.

Tu niñez de repente se ha quedado

en el último juego, detenida.

Hoy de forma distinta te has peinado

y hay un nuevo color en tus mejillas.

¡Si estás enamorada, aleluya!

¡Si estás enamorada!

¡Si estás enamorada, aleluya!

¡Si estás enamorada!

¡Si estás enamorada, aleluya!

¡Si estás enamorada!

¡Si estás enamorada, aleluya!

¡Si estás enamorada!

¡Si estás enamorada, aleluya!

¡Si estás enamorada!

¡Si estás enamorada, aleluya!

¡Si estás enamorada!
